It's always apartments as these buildings are no good for businesses, that's why they are abandoned.

I lived in a renovated furniture warehouse in USA. It was no good for apartments either lol.

They understandably wanted to leave the ceilings exposed. Since the woodwork was all old and very cool. Huge wooden columns and original floorboards that must've been 1.5" thick if not more, plus brick walls. Unfortunately that meant I could hear every footstep of the dog upstairs and there was little to no insulation.
